If Levi the quarterback wasn’t aware of Levi the tackle once upon a time, he certainly was in April of 2007. “It’s weird,” Levi the QB said. “A couple years ago when he was coming out, people saw it on the news he got drafted and I had some people calling me, sending me text messages and asking my parents, ‘Did Levi get drafted already?’ I was like, ‘I’m only a sophomore. How am I going to get drafted?’ ”

At the time, Levi the QB was actually in the middle of transferring. He had been teammates with current Cardinals running back Tim Hightower at the University of Richmond. He sat out 2007 while transferring to Troy. And now he comes out for the draft after throwing for 4,254 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior, projected to be a mid-to-late-round draft pick in a year where the Cardinals are expected to draft a quarterback in the mid-to-late rounds.

He could be reunited with Hightower. Or meeting his eponymoustackle.

“Maybe there will be two of us on the same team,” Levi the QB said with a laugh. “That would be interesting.”

With Matt now the starter, has the team reconsidered moving Levi Brown away from Matt’s blind side (i.e. from RT to LT)? I thought Matt was one of the reasons the team asked Levi to play RT instead of the LT position he played in college, but I could be wrong on the recollection.

Regardless, I would like to see how Levi compares in regular season action at LT vs RT though.

Hopefully we’ll see a bit more of the run game next year which will allow the OL to dish out more punishment than they absorb from the DL. The consensus among broadcasters who were former players is the OL would prefer to run block (be the mauler) versus pass blocking (being the mauled).

Patrick Willis haha love the humor today! I wouldn’t mind seeing Levi move to Lt . Despite being a probowl backup Levi didnt have that great a year over at right tackle. Perhaps moving him back over there would help his confidence

A lot of people think our Levi is a bust, then all of the sudden he is a pro bowl back up. I think a lot of Cardinals fans are going to be shocked when they see how much better our Levi is when we have a running game in our game plan and a mobile QB. Our offense is going to be explosive next year; I’m just waiting for the defense to catch up.

Levi is a great kid – but why stop with Levi Brown at QB and left tackle? If we drafted Brandon Graham the Cards could have an all Michigan front three and then take Walter McFadden and we’d have the McFadden brothers at both cornerbacks. That’s someone’s nightmare. Levi Brown is actually a good choice at the fifth round where we can move from defense to get a good QB prospect. My other pick would be another Pittsburgh connection – Daryll Clark from Penn State who has an NFL arm and a high release like Sonny J used to throw. Max Hall is another quality QB out of our own backyard – he can be signed as an undrafted free agent most likely. Am I the only Cards fan who has good memories of Josh McCowan?

That would be cool. We have a O-lineman named Reggie Wells, we have a running back named Beanie Wells. Picking up Levi the QB would be very interesting, especially if he started. Would be 2 Wells and 2 Browns. O.O

Holy cow, that post from Adrian Wilson was actually THE Adrian Wilson??? How cool is that! Adrian, if you’re still reading, just wanted to say that you are one of the truly great Cardinal players during my time as a fan of the team ( about 35 years, at this point ). The league definitely needs more players like you – on and off the field. Thanks for being dedicated Cardinal.

I can’t be sure. But there was evidence I was able to see as moderator that made me think it was Adrian. And Adrian has made it clear in the past he peruses my work from time to time. UPDATE: Never mind. I am sure now. Saw Adrian in the parking lot Monday. Yep, it was him.

Darren – Thanks for clarifying the situation for Jordan, who clearly has not been paying attention. Heck, I would love to see Karlos here for many years to come but not at the price he seems to want. Karlos has made it clear that he basically just wants to get paid, period. I don’t think he cares where he goes. Part of me hopes he ends up in an NFL hell-hole like Oakland or Detroit. Maybe then he’ll appreciate how good it was to be with a good team, a good organization, and to play in a first class stadium filled to the rafters with great fans. I can’t help drawing a comparison between Dansby and Jamir Miller some years back. Just when he was truly peaking as a great player, he priced himself right out of town, went to Cleveland for a huge payday, and was never really heard from again. AND the Cardinals were nowhere near then what they are now. Darren, any thoughts on the Dansby to Miller comparison?

Aside from the date of the photo, I believe Leonard Davis’s facemask had one of those U-shaped pieces of bar hanging down from the top center of the mask (think Larry Csonka). Levi’s facemask is similar, but w/o the “U” (as pictured above).

Leonard Davis only wore the Cardinal’s new uniform for one year (in 2006).

I don’t think the Cardinals used the red pants with red jersey combo during any home game during the uniform’s debut year of 2006 (but I’m not certain of that. Checking NFL.com game highlights from 2006, I didn’t see any home games with white pants).

Leonard left for Dallas in 2007 when Whiz arrived (same year Levi was drafted).

Oh, I believe you. Just playing detective and trying to provide visual evidence that cannot be refuted. Too much CSI I guess…

The nail in the coffin for Adrian is that the Seahawk in the photo is Patrick Kerney (#97). Kerney didn’t join the Seattle until the 2007 – the same year Leonard Davis joined Dallas. So, Kerney and Davis could have never played against each other in the those uniforms. That leaves Levi Brown as the only Card’s player with jersey #75 to play against Patrick Kerney as a Seahawk since Davis left the Cards.

I really like what I’ve seen from Jarrett Brown and Lefevor (at least in the workouts and drills. I wonder how their interviews and board work are. Armanti Edwards could be a good QB with proper development too IMO.
